Re: Live Streaming Concerts- A Thread

If you didn't manage to get along to Worthy Farm this year (or did, but hope to relive it afterwards), you'll be pleased to hear that the BBC is promising its most comprehensive coverage of Glastonbury to date.

Offering a complete multi-platform experience with coverage from six stages, between Thursday 23 June and Friday 1 July, there will be a host of programming, including live headline sets, festival highlights and interviews, taking viewers and listeners directly into the heart of the action.

The award-winning TV and radio coverage will be hosted by presenters working across both platforms, bringing viewers live music and highlights on BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four, as well as on four Red Button streams,

If you're outside the UK, you'll be able to hear live coverage on the following stations, by clicking the links to listen online: BBC 6 Music BBC Radio 1 BBC Radio 2

There will also be a wealth of online content at bbc.co.uk/glastonbury which will feature highlights from dozens of the acts - which, for the first time, will be available to watch outside the UK.

For more information, including broadcast schedules, head over to bbc.co.uk/glastonbury.

This thread reminds me of an idea I had. To Open up a sort of sports bar, but for music fans. You could go to watch streaming concerts and festivals and things and drink with yr buddies instead of watching them alone at home and chatting with people on the internet.

I'll be a silent investor in this.

Re: Live Streaming Concerts- A Thread

There's more to the idea.
All of the money would go into having the best sound system in town, so the selling point to potential attendees would be that it's the best place in town to hear music. You'd have themed nights (dub, post punk/new wave, disco etc.) with djs spinning really unknown gems for the music connoisseurs out there who have interest in shit like that. But the focus would be on showing people new music rather than snubbing them for not already knowing. It would be a club dedicate to lovers of music, all kinds, with special events for things like LCD Soundsystem's last show, Coachella festival streams, Radiohead's From The Basement concerts, album release listening parties, all those kinds of things. We'd serve classy beers and wines and just generally have a really casually sophisticated mindset with it all. It'd build a community of music fans, of people who really care about music and don't just want to go to a club and dance. Oh and written on the door is a sign that says "No Meanies, No Bummers" These are the only rules.
